A New York City Landmark

For years, masses of people have been flocking to the corner of 53rd street & 6th avenue to satisfy their hunger with simply the best meal in the City. Some people call it the ‘Platter’ while others know it as ‘Chicken & Rice’, the ‘Chicken Guy’ or the ‘Gyro Spot.’ Part of the secret to this delicious meal is in the white sauce. Nobody knows what it is, but everybody knows to ask for lots of it!

“When it comes to innovation, few vendors have proved the equal of…53rd and 6th. His employees wear uniforms of yellow — “We Are Different,” the T-shirts proclaim — and the business has a Web site, 53rdand6th.com…”
